HALO video conferencing - it's the future for petchems

More hi-tech gadgetry was on display when the Blog visited a major petrochemical company this week for a three-way global video conference. My colleague Peter S and I sat chatting long-distance in a state-of-the-art HALO suite, where the experience was as life-like as having all the members of the global product management team from the three offices in the room together.

It made our previous in-house experience of video-conferencing look like the kids' webcams, and as old hat as black and white TV. If this is the shape of the future, airlines have got a lot to worry about.

And as if that wasn't enough of a glimpse into the future, the ladies' restrooms had this very chic hand-drier. It's called a Dyson Airblade.

It's good to see where this year's bumper profits have been spent.

HEY..
great to hear that..
in fact you saved a lot of time and expense by the use of video-conferencing tool. That has always been the case with every person in this global world.

The first time when I used the video conferencing I was really nervous about how do I look or how do I speak through the equipment, but it was a great feeling.
